Snow Storm

Storm called 4th worst of all storms in N. Tex. history.

1. & 2. Before and After. Photo of the same stretch of Mill Creek, standing in front of our lot looking west. The calm before the storm photo was taken Friday afternoon. The other was taken Saturday morning. It appears we got hit by a horrible storm, but instead the damage was done in eerie silence. Late Friday night and in the early hours of Saturday, the silence was broken by the occasional crack of a limbs, followed by loud crashing. The volume depended on the size of the limb. Some sounded as though the whole tree was crashing. It was the weight of the snow that brought the limbs down. I read later that live oaks were especially vulnerable.

3. Limbs littered our front yard, as they did throughout the neighborhood.
4. Hydrant in our front yard.
5. Cowboys Stadium Saturday morning after the snow had stopped.

6. My precious Tex. For two days our dogs frolicked in the snow.
